Probable Causes / Possible Solutions
Insufficient sweat collected for analysis due to sensor
cell not properly latched with locking ring or holder not
adequately secured to patient.
Insufficient sweat collected for analysis due to
iontophoresis not properly completed prior to starting
sweat analysis.
Cable may have become detached from sensor cell or
Nanoduct.
Damaged electrode cable assembly.
Nanoduct may have been inadvertently powered off or
batteries died during sweat analysis.
Process may have timed out due to patient producing very
low sweat rate or insufficient sweat to fill sensor cell.
Ensure sensor cell is latched with locking ring and that
holder secured with adequate tightness to the patient's
limb. Do not overtighten and impede blood circulation.
Ensure iontophoresis is properly completed before starting
sweat analysis.
Ensure that the cable is properly connected to both sensor
cell and Nanoduct.
Inspect the electrode cable assembly for any damage.
Do not use electrodes if there is any damage to the cable
insulation or if there are exposed bare wires. Replace
electrode cable assembly.
Replace all four batteries (if necessary) and repeat the
sweat test one time.†
